Adding Contracts to an Organization

How to add contracts to an Organization's account. You must have the Service Provider Manager user role enabled to access this feature.

It's important to keep accurate up-to-date records about your service provider organizations and the agreements you have with them. You can record these agreements (or contracts) for each organization in the Service Provider Manager using the Contracts Management section.

Whether you are adding current contracts, historical contracts for your records, or up-coming contracts for an organization, they are all added the same way. Currently, all contracts must be added manually and we will be releasing the ability to add contracts in bulk via CSV import or through the Service Provider Portal over the coming months.

To Edit an existing contract, click View next to the contract and make changes to the necessary areas as covered in these steps.

Deleting or Archiving a Contract

When a contract has finished, or you no longer require the contract, you can either delete or archive the contract.

Deleting a contract will completely remove it from the system and you will no longer have a any record of it. This is useful for testing contracts or removing mistakes.

To delete a contract, either click the Remove button next to the contract, or:

1. Select the contract(s) to delete using the checkbox(es) next to their records

2. Click the Run an Action dropdown

3. Select Remove Contract

4. Click Run Action

The contract(s) will be deleted from the system unable to be restored.

Archiving a contract will change the status of the contract but it will still be available to view, edit or restore. It will only be visible when the Archive filter is changed to Archived Only. This is useful for most contracts when you want to keep a historical record of previous contracts you have had with an organization. Archived contracts will not send out expiry notifications.

To archive a contract or multiple contracts:

1. Select the contract(s) using the checkbox(es) next to their records

2. Click the Run an Action dropdown

3. Select Archive Contract

4. Click Run Action

The contract will be archived and accessible by changing the filters to view archived contracts.
